Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World

"If you can't do the little things right, you'll never do the big things right."

If you want to change the world, start by making your bed.

If you make your bed every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed.

The author, who overcame difficult challenges and recovered from a serious parachuting accident, shares the profound life lessons he learned during one of the world's most challenging physical trainings: valuing companionship, accepting that the world is not fair, facing failure, never giving up, and making your bed.

The most momentous achievements are made of small steps.
